There's another catch:

What if you keep jump starting another car with leads directly attached until the LA battery is depleted? That is a very common scenario and Tesla should size the electronics correctly or make it resilient for that use.

Last I checked, Teslas are not intended to be used for jump starting other cars.

Same with most hybrid cars. Toyota/Lexus strictly forbids this and is have denied warranty claims.

It’s also clearly stated on the owner manuals.
